Chinese Ceramic Tek Sing Shipwreck Bowl 19th century AD. A pale blue-glazed dish with upper face and rim divided into painted segments, each with a floral motif; radiating petals and floral motif to the centre; floral motifs to the outer face, central signature to the underside. 342 grams, 18cm (7"). Ex Bernard C. Pickard collection, Hampshire, UK. The Tek Sing (True Star) wreck is one of the famous recovery stories of the 20th century. Sailing from the port of Xiamen (then known as Amoy) in February 1822 the vessel Tek Sing was bound for Jakarta, Indonesia laden with porcelain goods and 1600 Chinese emigrants. The captain decided to pass through the Gaspar Strait, between the Bangka-Belitung Islands, and ran aground on a reef. The vessel sank in about 100 feet of water. The next morning, February 7, an English East Indian captained by James Pearl, passing through the same waters, encountered debris and some survivors and managed to rescue about 190 of the latter.
